| [Iran Press TV] The Indonesian government has introduced a ban on support for Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... ISIL snuffies in the Southeast Asian country, warning its citizens against joining the terrorists' fight in Syria and Iraq. Speaking on the sidelines of a closed-door cabinet meeting held in the presidential palace and presided over by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Monday, Indonesia's Coordinating Political, Legal and Security Affairs Minister Djoko Suyanto said the rising profile of the ISIL in Indonesia must be controlled as it poses a serious threat to the country's cultural and religious diversity, the English-language newspaper Jakarta Post reported. "The government rejects and bans the teachings of ISIL […] from growing in Indonesia. It [ISIL] is not in line with state ideology," he said. Djoko added that the Jakarta government has been closely watching ISIL' activities and the possible intrusion of the terrorist organization in Indonesia. He said monitoring measures will be conducted collectively by his ministry, the Foreign Ministry, the Law and Human Rights Ministry, National Intelligence Agency and the National Counterterrorism Agency to detect and prevent would-be snuffies from traveling to areas where ISIL is currently fighting. |
